A rental car now sits trunk-deep inside a dining room near Centennial Park in Nashville following a Monday morning collision.
The wreck occurred on Parthenon Avenue at approximately 8 a.m. Multiple vehicles were involved in the incident. Metro Nashville Police confirmed that one car spun out of control and was launched into the residence after the initial impact. The force of the crash caused multiple airbags to deploy inside the vehicle.
Elizabeth Lorick was driving the car that ended up inside the apartment. She stated that another driver T-boned her at an intersection, causing her to lose control. Lorick remained trapped inside the vehicle after the collision. She escaped by kicking her door open. She reported that she sustained only bruising from the accident.
A witness standing nearby heard a loud bang before watching Lorick’s vehicle strike other cars and then smash into the building. The witness estimated that three to four people were inside the home at the time of the crash. All occupants were located upstairs when the car hit the dining room.
The vehicle involved is a rental car. It remains lodged in the apartment near the intersection of Parthenon Avenue and Centennial Park.
